Is GM too big to jail?

GM victims fund will pay out billions, July 1

General Motors is suggesting that the families of the 13 victims of their negligence will receive some form of compensation. But why is no one being criminally charged with manslaughter for waiting years to fix a very inexpensive problem?

Most disappointing is the fact that no one in the media is asking this question. In a country with the largest prison population in the world, the executives at GM seem to have been issued a “get out of jail free” card.
